12 Days of Christmas with Shrub
This came out from the Hynes campaign and it was too funny to miss. Dan Hynes is running for Senate in the Dem primary here in Illinois. It peeved the GOP so much the Illinois Leader (A GOP Website here in Illinois--they are Uber-conservative, but somewhat accurate) put it up in an article that quotes Hynes fairly exstensively.

For the DU enjoyment,

Dan Hynes’ “Twelve Days of Christmas”

On the first day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, a strong and vibrant economy

On the second day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, health care for my family

On the third day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, earned income tax credit

On the fourth day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, education dollars

On the fifth day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, 3 million jobs

On the sixth day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, fair trade agreements

On the seventh day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, safety in the workplace

On the eighth day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, unemployment benefits

On the ninth day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, ergonomic standards

On the tenth day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, prescription drugs for every senior

On the eleventh day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, pension protection

On the twelfth day of Christmas, George W. Bush took from me, overtime for workers


We may as well laugh in the midst of our tears, I suppose.

Laura

2. Sad that we have so much to work with isn't it?
How pathetic that we have such ample fodder with this sick SOB we've got in the People's House...

Thanks for sharing, it made me laugh!

4. Yes, we certainly do need to laugh,
and any humor worth its salt also contains a dark, sad strain, and that definitely applies to this!
